Good Product, but....
The actual NPA works fine. However it's packaging is not great. The package is larger than is has to be, the lube is separate and harder to keep together.

Good NPA
Good NPA. It works well for trauma kits.

Good deal, durable
I've carried one of these daily for over a year, the packaging has held up in a cargo pocket, so I turned to Rescue Essentials to buy another one. Thanks!

Size matters
Prior reviewer mentioned getting largest size and cut to reduce length. It should be noted that as size increases, not only length but diameter increases. Factor that into your purchase.

Standard Issue
Direct replacement for NPR issued in Army IFAK & IFAK II.
-
packaging is the drawback
Its clean and sterile packaging, but over sized for what it needs to do. Also the lubrication is separate from the nose hose, and hard to keep together. The hose itself is high quality.

Good quality
The tube feels of good quality, not to stiff but still flexible enough. I would get the largest size with the thought of cutting it shorter if needed. The packing it comes in could be a little smaller though to fit easier in kits.
